A Long Way Down

The joker's on the left of me, the vulture's on my right

It seems to me that there's no end in sight

My quiet den is crowded with the screams of rescue me

But I am hoping no one else will see

The lion in the basement starts to sing its somber tune

Warning me that confrontation looms

Brittle bones and sticks and stones the weapons that I choose

It's a fight I can't afford to loose

'Cause it's a long way down

As I loose my grip I slowly start to drown

But you're my saving grace

Through the water I can almost see your face

And it gives me hope

And I've never felt, like this before

And my nerves are wearing thin

But I know you're here, somewhere within

I know we'll see the end
